Look but Don't Touch - DJ Criminal, Illogic

He was a young man in his prime

Twenty-five but had already bagged a dime

They were serious, together five years

But he was still curious ‘bout the life of his peers

See they were all single, he was locked down

Liked to mingle but loved his girl and child

Forgot to mention his son, three years of age

At times he felt trapped but mostly enjoyed his cage

Of course he raps so he live life on the stage

Town to town, going weeks without getting laid

Even though at every show, you know, it’s that one, tryna kick it in your room

and have some fun

Body banging like a bass line, you know the type

Knows your songs and checking your plans for the night

It’s 3am so he knows the deal for real

Temptation’s ill but he knows he needs to chill

Look but don’t touch

She was a young woman with a plan

Twenty-two but had already found a man

He twenty-five, kinda met him playing with his band

After a set, stepped off stage and took her hand

Just wanted to talk, wasn’t tryna get in her pants

The beautiful conversation was a slow dance

Five years later, she moves in, he’s on the road more than she would like but

you know that’s how he gets his dough

Home alone days, weeks, even months at a time

She tries to stay busy but trouble races through her mind

Assure of what he’s doing while the sun rise

His voice on the phone are here to dry her raining eyes

The girl was fine so she always met guys

They sit and talk and every now and then one tries

But her and her man they built that trust

It may be hard but she knows to look but don’t touch
